"There it is!" Ditzy said, trotting towards a massive structure. The Doctor gazed at it, genuinely impressed and awestruck by the beautiful white building. "Discord must be there, look at the clouds, they're all coming from inside." She said, pointing at the pink puffy clouds, dripping the chocolate liquid. A few pegasi tried to wrestle the clouds into obedience, but the clouds seemed to have a mind of their own.
"What, what are they doing?" The Doctor asked.
"Oh, the pegasi? It's our job to control the weather in equestria. The weather factory up in cloudsdale, its supposed to be a fantastic job." She said, gazing up sadly at the flying ponies.
"What's wrong?" He asked. Ditzy shook her head.
"Nothing, I'm fine." She said, her voice trembling just the slightest bit. The Doctor offered a small smile, which she returned.
"Well, we came to see Discord, so lets get on with it!" He said excitedly. The grey pegasus grinned, and any traces of sadness vanished from her face like a cloud on a sunny day. They quietly moved towards the castle. A deep laugh echoed from inside.
"Discord." Ditzy said in a hushed voice. Her voice broiled with contempt, and her ears laid back against her head. Suddenly two shadows soared above. They both looked up, and Ditzy grinned.
"It's them!" She said. "It's them, it's the princesses! I can't believe we get to see them, this is incredible!" She said. Her wings flapped excitedly. She looked at The Doctor, and her excitement lessened. His face was frozen with a look of concern.
"What? Whats wrong?" She asked. He gave a slight shake of his head.
"Somethings not right he muttered. remember the rift energy i told you about? How it seems to be all over the place, and incredibly strong?"
"yeah?" She said.
"Well, it can also crack. This universe, is filled with cracks, splits in the universe. Thats how i got here, because the TARDIS fell through."
"So?"
"It feels really strong here, like a crack is somewhere inside that castle. A big one." He said.
"What does that mean?" Ditzy asked.
"Well, hopefully nothing, but a crack that size could potentially let in…other things. Dangerous things." He replied. "Like i said earlier, i'm not the only one who can use the vortex. But never mind that, i'm sure everything is fine. Come along then, miss hooves. I do believe you wanted to see the princesses." He exclaimed suddenly, and jumped up.
"So, everything is ok?" The grey pegasus asked uncertainly.
"Yeah, sure." The Doctor grinned. Ditzy sighed and stood up. The pair slowly crept inside. The inside of the castle was even more chaotic than the outside. The floors spun around, covered with mismatched patterns of carpets, woods and tiles. The walls were painted with bright, loud colours. The windows each revealed a different scene on the outside, one was raining, another was snowing, one was night and another was day. Pink clouds whizzed in and out of doors that vanished and appeared as needed. Discord himself sat at a throne that was as mismatched and patchy as he was. It gave Ditzy a headache just looking inside. The two hid behind a wall that just barely allowed them to peek inside and get a glimpse of this key point in equestrian history. The Princesses themselves hovered slightly, just above the spinning floors. There was a heated argument going on between them and the chaotic king.
"Discord, you've terrorized Equestria for too long. But now we will end it." The tall white one, Celestia said. Her sister nodded.
"Oh Celestia, so serious. Really, though why ever would you want to return to regular old boring normal? Where's the fun, the excitement? The chaos?"
"It's over discord." She said. Luna held up a box.
"The elements!" Ditzy gasped in a hushed whisper. Discord, instead of being afraid, grinned.
"Oh, Celestia. We could have ruled together. I always did enjoy your company. But i'm afraid its not over. In fact, i'd say it's just beginning." He said, a malicious grin on his mismatched face. He put his clawed talons in his mouth and let out a piercing whistle. Ditzy looked confused.
"This…isn't supposed to happen." She said. Suddenly, a whirring sound came from behind the throne. There was a hidden door. The Doctors ears flattened against his skull, his eyes widened in terror.
"No, no no no no please be something else, please be anything else but that." He whispered loudly, mostly to himself. Ditzy turned to look at the Doctor.
"What? What is it?" She asked. A loud, gravelly, mechanical voice echoed in the room.
"You dare to go against the Emperor's wishes? You shall be EXTERMINATED." It roared. Ditzy glanced at the Doctor. Pure terror clouded his face. Celestia and Luna seemed just as frightened.
"Discord…what…what are they?" Celestia gasped. There were four large things, two on either side of the throne. They had two appendages on the front, each one different. They had a single lens coming out of a stalk on the front as well. There were metal balls all along the side.
"Oh these? These are some friends of mine. Do be polite, Celestia. They think i'm the Emperor, whatever that is. I guess they don't have kings where they're from. And they can do a wonderful trick. Demonstrate on the blue one, but don't kill her. Not yet." He said.
"Affirmative." The one on the right responded. it aimed one of its appendages and fired. The Doctor nudged Ditzy.
"We need to leave. Now." He said urgently. They ran out the door. Ditzy cringed as she heard Luna's anguished cry.
"There's nothing we can do right now, just keep moving." He said. They ran and ran until they stopped in the middle of what should have been Ponyville.
"What…were those things." Ditzy said through heavy breathes. The Doctor looked up, and Ditzy saw despair in his eyes. He was scared. She hand't been able to imagine him scared when she first met him, he seemed so cool and collected. But right now, Ditzy saw true fear.
"The stuff of nightmares." He responded. "We have to get back to the TARDIS." He started walking, with Ditzy at his side.
